Why Early Access?

Chained in the Backrooms is not yet a fully completed game, and our development process is ongoing. Through Early Access, we aim to expand the game by adding new maps, environment designs, creatures, and puzzles. Additionally, we plan to introduce various new challenges to extend gameplay time. Throughout this process, we will take player feedback into account to make improvements and enhance the overall experience.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

We estimate that the Early Access period will last between 6 months and 1 year.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

For the full release, we plan to add more level designs, new creatures, different puzzles, and enhanced gameplay mechanics. We are also considering features such as a character customization system (skins and an in-game store).

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The current Early Access version offers players a unique experience with a set number of maps, creatures, and core gameplay mechanics. The game is already playable and is ready to be expanded with additional content.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

Yes, we plan to increase the price as new content and features are added.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

Community feedback is very important to us. Therefore, we plan to engage with players through the Steam forums and improve the game based on community feedback./i]

About This Game

Chained in the Backrooms is a 1-4 player co-op horror game. It features levels with liminal space environments where you can solve puzzles, complete tasks, and fight against creatures with unique designs. Your choices will impact the game's progression.

The game is based on a popular creepypasta. Unlike other games of this genre, we have created different mini-games and puzzles in each level. As you progress, you will encounter scarier and more intense atmospheres. To advance, you must explore each level, understand the tasks and mini-games, and learn how to deal with the creatures.

All the while, you are chained to one another. The chains restrict your movement, requiring you to move together. This may make it challenging when playing mini-games or escaping from creatures.

You can interact with environmental elements to survive. There are items you can loot, which can be used to restore stamina and health.

Each level may feature different environment designs, puzzles, and creatures. Level transitions are indicated to the players. If players lose, they restart from the checkpoint. There is no connection between levels, and the tasks are independent of each other. The difficulty level will increase as you progress.

The Backrooms are actually a dream. Every time you pass a level, you move through a layer of the dream. To escape the Backrooms forever, you must overcome and complete all the levels.
